Some smart solutions to problems are just senseless leap of faith.   And t he best thing to do. We encounter challenges that call on us to just believe and act. Even when it happens that what we believe will work is just  glorified senselessness, at least, to those who don't feel the solution is reasonable. For instance, it is foolish to believe that a 90 year old woman, medically confirmed to be chronically barren, will  still take in and give birth to a child.  How was that going to happen? What is the justification to accept that a woman who has been barren all her life and in fact has long passed the age of bearing children, will become pregnant? What’s the justification for such? There’s reasonably none. It is in fact a helpless situation reasonably speaking.

It made me to get to  learning  how to make people cooperate  with me. It made me to learn to speak clearly with simple easy t...

Just "...We regret to let you know that we will not be continuing with your application, bla bla bla?" One or a combination of these four scenarios may be the cause of such rejection: You are seriously unqualified for that job in many key requirements. You're qualified for that job but your application was poorly written and didn't convince the recruiter that you're the kind of talent they are looking for. You're really over qualified for that job and the company feels you will ask too much which would just be like wasting everyone's time. The recruiters received too many application, than they are willing to handle, from potentially qualified candidates and they decided to zero in on potentially qualified candidates who were referred or introduced by a well known reliable figure. Pro tips: 1.) Apply only if you meet at least 7/1...
